Fused Glass Flowers Wave or Candle Holder Workshop

X

Description

In this workshop you will have the choice of making a flower wave sculpture or a flower candle holder. You will have access to all of the materials to decorate your glass including pre fired glass beads and frit. This workshop does not involve any glass cutting so is suitable for complete beginners. After the workshop your pieces will be taken to Sally’s studio where they will be fired twice in her kiln. They will be ready within a 14 days of the workshop and can be collected from Stanwick Lakes or posted out to you for the cost of the postage. Old clothes are recommended. Please do not wear open toed shoes. About the Tutor After a 36 year career in Local Government Sally thought it was time to try something new. She loves to be creative and wanted to do something that would combine her creativity with her geeky technical side. Sally has always loved glass, particularly the reflections you get from the sun shining through garden art and after attending a couple of basic glass fusing courses she bought her first kiln in 2019. There are so many things to make, different techniques to learn, firing schedules to understand - the possibilities for experimentation are endless. Sally loves teaching workshops, they are always relaxed and fun and she encourages everyone to come up with their own designs. She particularly enjoys working with people who say they are not artistic or creative because they always surprise themselves by creating something beautiful.
